Features
ETNA's quartz inverted-mesa (Q-IM)
blanks are manufactured by original ion-thinning technology, in which an
ordered flow of energetic ions provides for proper surface finish ,
flatness and thickness uniformity of the exposed to ions inverted- mesa
part of the blank. High-grade quartz monocrystals hydrothermally- grown by
VNIISIMS (Alexandrov, Russia) are used as a starting material for the
blanks.
